Event Details:
Title: What future for global goals? Exploring potential structures for the post-2030 agenda
Summary:
This talk discusses the different objectives of global goals, the theories around governing through goals and governing through numbers, and what approach for global goals may work best in the current political climate. Starting with a brief history of global goals for education, the talk frames the shift in global governance from hard to increasingly soft governance mechanisms. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are explored in detail. Using evidence from voluntary national reviews the talk discusses the benefits and challenges of governing through goals and governing through numbers as soft governance tools. Finally, as we move to the post-SDG era, we review the objectives of global goals, how they may have shifted in the current political climate, and how the next round of global goals – if there is to be one – should be structured to meet these objectives.
